Hans,

Would LEAVE be implicit in that ELSE?

In the realm of "wishful thinking", actually, the syntax I'd like to see 
is:

       DOW MASTS <> 'A';
           READE TKMANO MAFILEL6
           LEAVE WHEN %EOF(MAFILEL6);
       ENDDO;

But then again, that starts looking like Perl! ;-)

Oh yeah, then there's that feature of some truly advanced programming 
languages where you can code an ELSE on a DO WHILE loop. Would you like 
to see this in RPG?

       DOW MASTS <> 'A';
           READE TKMANO MAFILEL6
           IF %EOF(MAFILEL6);
               LEAVE;  // That is, continue at code following ENDDO.
           ENDIF;
       ELSE;
           // Code to perform when we get to MASTS='A'
           ...
       ENDDO;

Cheers! Hans
